Need some feedback here. This is my first attempt. Not really satisfied with this scape, but I can't really put a finger on exactly what.
I haven't apply any glue/mortar. I'm thinking to separate the 2 section ( currently joined as shown in the first pic) to create a gap in the middle. The tank is 48x16. Current width of the scape (with both section touching) is about 30 inch. Depth is 13 inches.
I will also have 4-5 pieces of live rock that i will transfer from my existing tank. Those rock will be an island. I also ordered more nano shelf rock ( same shelf rock, but smaller size) to allow me to put them in btw the larger pieces to create more gap and increase the height of the scape.
So far, i have 25lb of marco shelf and 20lb of foundation rock. I did not break the large pieces. Should i? The old rock should be 15-20lb, and another 8lb of nano shelf on order. Total ~70lb of rock for 55g DT. I'm planning on going bare bottom. Is this amount of rock sufficient?
Any feedback is much appreciated. I have only spend 1hour or so monkeying with these rock.
